Yes, the motion was defeated.
I'm an optimist. That's why I remained a teacher all these years. You have to be an optimist to be a teacher. I would say that there are good reasons for that, because when we're looking at our immigration policy, we want to do it in a very deliberative manner. I'm just worried that we won't have the time we need in the House, buried in 400-plus pages. I'm not a budget specialist, but I'm certainly trying to learn as much as I can about immigration. I think it would be difficult for all of us to discuss everything.
I do want to thank Mr. Dykstra. He's been very respectful, we've worked well together, and I look forward to working together in such a convivial manner in the future. In future, he will vote for my amendments and he will make it unanimous.
Thank you.
